“Ballantine” Original Oil Painting
At 30 x 40 inches, this painting has real presence. It’s large enough to anchor a dining room, lounge, or entryway, a real talking point.
For collectors, it represents an investment in joy, in colour, and in a connection to the Highland Cow, that most popular and charismatic of beings 😊
Highland cows are irresistible.Hefty, majestic strength, touchably fluffy coat, and almost comical fringe is a winning combo. They do seem to embody the soul of the countryside - beautifully wild and weathered.
This 30 x 40” original oil painting is one of my boldest interpretations yet. I leaned into rich, vibrant colour, using brushstrokes that bring energy and movement to the canvas. Rather than aiming for realism, I want to capture the spirit of the animal. This lady has a sensible soul, belief by the playful rainbow chaos of her hair. She is currently available for sale, if you'd like to own the original piece you can find her here.
Hung in a modern space, the painting becomes an immediate focal point. The vivid hues of magenta, turquoise, orange, and deep violet make the cow almost glow against a simple backdrop, transforming the mood of the room, bringing a touch of the Scottish Highlands into daily life.
